| It is very good you are attacking this problem, but is this the right way to attack the email problem? According to Paul Graham frightening startup ideas http://www.paulgraham.com/ambitious.html, email is a bad ToDo list, How are you going to implement a better Todo list? I have created a alpha prototype which attacks these problems conceptually, namely, Message Classification, Message Sharing, Bidirectional Messaging, Pull Messaging, Sender Revocation, Message Expiry, Centralized Attachment etc as a Mobile App but approached this as a separate todo protocol using the Push Messaging Infrastructure. You can download the working app from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=priya.pullgrid... and can see a website created http://www.pullworld.com (Undocumented - You can download the Frontend App Html Source - Have not even shared in HN as Show HN because it is incomplete in documentation). The purpose of the Prototype is just as a proof of concept and not really to solve the email problem. I would love to share my knowledge/architecture if you are interested, so that you can really attack this problem as envisaged by pg and since you are planning to do it open source and with email, would love to contribute if you are thinking of mobile in the future using Html/OpenGL based client. |
